Chapter 7

"What the hell was that?" Bosco shouted.

"I dunno. Probably Cruz losing her temper as usual, Faith said sarcastically.

Bosco just ignored her and went to see what the sound was. "Oh my god!" Bosco yelled as he saw Cruz lying at the bottom of the flight of stairs. "Faith call and ambulance Bosco yelled as he ran down the stairs. "Dam it," Bosco thought to himself. "Maritza honey are you ok?"

She didn't answer him. Faith came down the stairs after him. "Is she awake?" Faith asked

"No she's not answering me, but she's breathing! Shit! How could this happen?" Bosco said looking down at her then he saw that his pants were all tangled up around her shoe because they were so long! "She must have tripped over my long pants when she was running down the stairs. Ritza come on honey wake up!" Bosco said as he stroked her cheek. Then he saw the blood. Oh my god. Bosco took off his sweatshirt and used it to try and stop the bleeding just as the paramedics came on to the scene. "Come on Bosco let the paramedics to their work, I'll drive you to the hospital." said Faith as she gently tried to lead Bosco away."

"NO, Faith I'm not leaving her!" Bosco said angrily and following the paramedics and getting into the ambulance. He held her hand the whole way there whispering to her hold on, "Ritza you can do it I know you can! Don't leave me!" When they got to the hospital nurses surrounded them. "Officer Boscorelli you can't come in here please wait outside." One of the nurses told him.

Bosco tired to fight with her but eventually gave up. He had been so worried that he hadn't even noticed his hands were covered in her blood. He went into the washroom and washed the blood off of his hands as well as splashing cold water on his face. How could this happen he thought to himself.

Faith came into the hospital just as Bosco came out of the washroom. She came running up to him and gave him a huge hug. "How's she doing?"

"Why would you care?" Bosco snarled as he pushed her away.

"Don't be like that Bosco."

"Why not Faith? You're the one who came into my apartment and started to scream at her. You didn't have to attack her like that!" Yelled Bosco

"She deserved it Bosco!" exclaimed Faith.

"You called her so many names when you didn't even know that whole story!"

"I saw all I needed too, she was using you again!"

"NO, she wasn't! She as there because I invited her." Bosco could feel the anger rising! Yes she did come to me but only to apologize and then she left but I went after her because I didn't want her to be alone. Nothing happened Faith! We just talked and we both fell asleep after. She needed me Faith, I'm all she has and I'm never going to abandon her!" Bosco didn't give her time to answer.

"And I love her!" Bosco yelled and if she dies I'll never forgive you!" As he said that tears began to form in his eyes! It was your fault she ran away she was very fragile. I mean she's had a tough couple of months with the rape and all! You had no right to treat her like that!" With that Bosco stormed off.

Faith was speechless Bosco wait!" He didn't though, he just kept walking.
